Cardi B won the trial involving security guyswho argued that the rapper She had attacked her in a medical office during her – then secret – first pregnancy.

The twelve jurors in a court of Alhambra in Californiait took just one hour to decide that the Cardi B is not responsible for Emani Ellis’s treatmentwho claimed that the singer injured her in the face with her nail and spit on the corridor of a gynecological clinic in the Beverly hillsin February 2018.

Although only nine of the twelve jurors (six men, six women) were required for the verdict, the decision was unanimous.

‘The next time someone will try to file a ridiculous lawsuit against me, I will bless a lawsuit And I’ll make him pay. I’m not going to leave it like that, “said Cardi B outside the court, where she also posed for fans.

She added that she was forced to lose her first day of her children’s school because of the trial, while joking saying that her forehead had become “red and tired” by constant puzzle changes during the meetings.

In an incident recorded cameras before the verdict, the well -known rapper threw a marker on a man who shouted questions about whether she was pregnant again and who is the father. She described the questions as “offensive”.

‘I never touched her’

During the trial, which was broadcast live and raised a strong interest on social media, Cardi testified that she was afraid that Ellis would publicly reveal her pregnancy. He admitted that there was a quarrel, but stressed that there was no physical attack.

“I’ll say it until the last day of my life. I never touched her. I never put my hands on her, “she said after the decision.

Ellis’s lawyer Ron Rosen Janfaza said they intend to appeal.

The side of the plaintiff

Ellis, who worked as a security guy in the building, testified that the incident humiliated her and left her a trauma on the person who needed aesthetic surgery. She also argued that she lost her job and claimed compensation for medical expenses, mental and physical pain, as well as lost incomes, while Cardi said from the witness that the lawsuit was demanding “$ 24 million”.

Janfaza told the court that his client “lost her future” because of the incident, as he aspired to work on security forces or related professions.

He also criticized the rapper for the abusive vocabulary he used during the deposit, saying to the jurors: “This is a court, you can’t speak like that.”

The backdrop

Cardi B testified that she was in Los Angeles in February 2018 for professional obligations in view of the NBA All-Star Game, being four months pregnant with her first child with Offset. She had only informed her close circle, but neither her audience nor her parents.

The clinic was closed to other patients on that day. Cardi B claimed that Ellis followed her to the fifth floor, recognized her and seemed to be filmed by her cellphone. “I told her: Why are you pulling me? She replied: Oh, sorry. “

Nevertheless, the controversy escalated. Ellis testified that she suffered a trauma and humiliation, while a receptionist who intervened in the incident has largely confirmed the Cardi B version.
